Abstract

The axial evolution of the electromagnetic fields is solved self-consistently with the nonlinear dynamics of the electron beam in the autoresonance laser accelerator (ALA). A 50 kA/cm2 electron beam can be accelerated over 100 m from an initial energy of 25 MeV to 4.6 GeV by a CO2 laser with a peak initial intensity of 2.8×1014 W/cm2 along a 100 kG guide magnetic field.
